51-year-old Paul Neilson claimed cops pulled him over for having an expired registration on the way to his construction job. When his boss didn't believe it, Neilson returned with a police report.

Placing a call to the Lisbon PD, the boss found out that not only was the paperwork bogus, there was never a record of any stop. Neilson is now looking at a possible seven years in prison, charged last week with felony forgery.
